Are they allowed to intermingle like that?
It could encourage cross-breeding.

And BTW, Carrie Fisher is only 19. Tsk tsk.

How is Chewbacca holding that glass?
Star Trek (TOS) ended in 1969, and Star Wars (First Film) was released in 1977.

Not necessarily photoshopping…
Note that James Doohan (Scotty) has a moustache, which he was sporting in the first ST movie Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)

In which they had different uniforms. I had noticed Scotty’s moustache, and did think it could be the first film, but I remembered the uniforms were different so looked it up.

It could be some sort of party and the trek crew are wearing their old uniforms. I’d still like to know how Chewie is holding that class though.

In different uniforms, those are from the TV series.

Tagged in my search… “Made with Google AI”.

And in the pages where I saw it, nobody is arguing the reality of it… They’re all arguing the ethics of AI.

And yeah, I noticed the Wookie being glued to his beer, and the one Leia is holding to her chest doesn’t look right either.

I just assumed it wasn’t real.

misread instructions: The horizontal handles should be on the cabinet doors while the vertical handles should be on the drawers in approximately the same location (outer edge) as they were placed on the doors.

Most drawers won’t pull straight out with a handle on only one side. I have one that’s hard to open cos the drawer pull is only a bit off center.

There isn’t even room for an almost flat drawer pull, unless maybe if you could cut the drawer facings on the corner sides back to the drawers, exposing the probably barely finished wood in the inside corner… but that still might not be enough clearance.

The drawers may not be thick enough for recessed pulls… so… maybe slots instead?

Just position the handles in line with the doors’ ones.

Not a bad solution. It would probably give you access to at least half of the drawer, possibly 3/4 of it.

Am I misunderstanding, or are you guys all saying to put the handle on one side of the drawer front?

As I replied to khatkhattu, most drawers don’t pull straight out unless the handle is centered.

Those are on tracks, so they’ll do better than some, but if the handle is on one edge, they’ll still want to pull crooked, and jam.

I have an old fashioned drawer… ie, no metal track… that sticks all the time cos the knob is just a little off center.

If that’s not what you mean, sorry

Simple solution. Remove the handles and just cut some slots in the draw fronts. No handles sitting proud of the front faces, no problems.

When I found it the caption said 1930s NY policeman… but looking at it again just now, I thought, “no way”, and googled it.

I finally found what I think is the correct caption on a Facebook group devoted to shepherd breeds….

“1955: Black Alsatian police dog Astor riding in a side-car powered by Hamburg police sergeant Ernst Muller, who regards the dog to be the ‘eyes in the back of my head’.”

Just looked at a couple of pictures of the Belgium Shepard Malinois dogs and, they do look similar to the German Shepard dogs which is what your caption says the dog is.

Um… I’m confused

The caption I posted was in quotes cos it’s a cut and paste from a Facebook page. It seemed accurate, but it’s not like I wrote it or actually know.

It says Alsatian, which is a German Shepherd, and it was on a page that was about “shepherd dogs”, which could be all kinds.

When you said it looked intelligent, I replied that its face looked like a Malinois, which some police departments here use.

I thought Malinois were related to German shepherds… But their faces are kind of pointier, and very alert.

I didn’t know till I just googled it that they’re a type of Belgian Shepard instead.

I’m familiar with some other kinds of Belgian Shepards, which are quite different from Malinois… there are several breeds, mostly longer haired and very lean.

At least it had sugar and water.
LOL… we thought Nik-L-Nips were a bargain, cos you got a 4 or 5 pack (of pretty much nothing) for 5¢!

But what was the point of wax lips and fangs?
You were supposed to chew the wax after wearing them for a while, but I never did.

Eeek…I just went looking for a picture of them to post, and discovered they still make that stuff.

The fangs are different, and nowadays they.put fruit flavoring in the wax… but yuck.

And instead of 5¢ they’re $1.69!

Except for Nik-L-Nips… those are $1.79… and they still dare to call them Nik-L-Nips.

I suppose Dollar-Seventy-Nine-Nips just doesn’t have the right ring to it.

We saw something similar in the early 80s in Spokane Washington, in a small curios & coffee shop when we visited (from Canada). The patience they had, to show the wee lad what needed to be done to clear the tables, and how to do it, over and over. My type of place to patronize.

So do mine… I have no idea why I can find this stuff.

I have to take off my glasses, enlarge the image on my tablet with my fingers, and hold it a few inches from my eyes.

I’m pretty sure it’s something separate from vision itself, something to do with pattern recognition, maybe.

But it entered from above, I’d think with much more force than falling, like the end of an arrow trajectory from the ground.

So were they shooting from a helicopter?

One spring there was a woodpecker in our neighborhood. Noisy bugger. Moved on as the weather changed. But it did prompt me to look it up: they’re banging their head into a tree up to 20 times a second! Man, talk about a headache…

Fun fact!

They have a layer of cartilage between their beak and their skull that acts as a shock absorber.
Something I remember from a wildlife programme from many, many, years a go. Probably narrated by David Attenborough I would think.
